Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Dorothy Fortuna

Dr. Jesse Charnoff has been my non-surgical doctor several years now. He has helped me a great deal. Through his expert knowledge and devoted care he helped me with injections to relieve the pain I felt with my shoulder. It came time where there was no recourse but to have surgery. Dr. Charnoff recommended Dr. Christopher Brusalis who replaced my arthritic bone-on-bone shoulder with a new improved replacement. It was nothing short of a miracle for me. I worked hard in physical therapy as he suggested and I can move my arm all around with no pain or discomfort. Truly an amazing surgery and surgeon. I am so happy to know both doctors. I trust their expertise. Thank you very much.
